The search continued on Sunday for 19-year-old Aisha Khan, who was last seen at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus in Overland Park on Friday.

Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said more 400 man-hours have been devoted to the search. He said investigators have classified it as a missing person's case, but are operating on a worst-case scenario.

"We're going to act on this as if it were an abduction and we'll put resources into it accordingly," Douglass said.

Douglass said police have spoken with Khan's husband, with whom she shared a house in Olathe.

"If your question is whether he's a suspect or a person of interest," he said, We have no reason to believe that."

Police have canvassed neighborhoods near the campus, along with a long stretch of a nearby creek bed, Stoll Park, Quivira Park and the Sykes/Lady Overland Park Golf Course. Douglass said police have checked surveillance camera video from the area and it has not resulted in any significant information.

Douglass said investigators had no way of knowing whether Khan was still in the area.

Khan's family is also offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to her safe return, and have also started a Facebook page in hopes it'll help bring her home.

Khan's sister said she received a troubling phone call from her on Friday morning. She said a drunk man had been harassing her. In the message, Khan told her sister that she slapped the man, and that he smelled very bad.

"She said 'you need to pick up your phone, I'm confused.' She was freaked out," Khan's sister said. Khan's backpack and cell phone were later found on a picnic table near campus.

Police said Khan was a student at Johnson County Community College, but took classes that were held in facilities owned by the KU Edwards Campus.

Douglass said police have spoken with three construction workers who reported seeing someone matching Khan's description in the area at the time of the phone call. He said there were no reports of suspicious people or unusual vehicles in the area.

Police said they are monitoring Khan's cell phones and social media accounts for activity.

Douglass encouraged the public to pass along any information that might be helpful.

"Continued community involvement is important. We need to remember that this person is 19 years old, but not much more than a child," he said. "One of our own is missing and we need to find her. Anything we can do to help that effort can be much appreciated."
